“Rest in Power, Peter Rufai, our Dodo Mayana.
I just received the heartbreaking news of the death of one of Nigeria’s patriotic football legends, Peter Rufai.
Peter Rufai, is unarguably one of Nigeria’s finest goalkeepers, who has now passed away at the age of 61.
As a passionate football fan, I can confidently say that Peter Rufai’s career was extremely legendary, so much that he earned the iconic nickname ‘Dodo Mayana’.
Rufai stood tall for Nigeria, especially during our 1994 AFCON victory and the 1994 FIFA World Cup that shook the world. He gave us moments we will never forget and saves that lifted the whole nation.
I pray that his family finds comfort in knowing he was loved, respected, and will never be forgotten. May his soul rest in perfect peace, and may his legacy continue to inspire generations to come.” [CONTINUE READING HERE]>>>>
